Cartagena Reports

I am in Cartagena. Bought some basic supplies. My apartment is smaller than I imagined but it will serve. Will probably be using love motels unless I find one I want to stay with a few days. Going to find an ATM and look at the clock tower, find delirium and the other bar before I come back tonight. Fuck it is hot. Had a couple of guys approach me about pussy already but was on a mission to get some water. Thank you guys for all your advice and I will let you know how it goes. Tempted to use one of the girls from online, beautiful and wild.

[QUOTE=MojoBandit;2518614]I am going to respond point by point because it is easier to follow at a glance.

1. No to be too smart aleck but more being to the point; this site is not Yelp or TripAdvisor and so no one logs on to get or supply information about eating here unless they what they are eating is pussy and the answer is Yes I Do! You want a chica to be more relaxed around you than you should too. Fact: What chicas like second only to money is for someone to lick their pussy. On a serious note you are telling on yourself for not reading back very far because I myself have posted tips on restaurants as have others but each has their own taste so I advise you to scour TripAdvisor for that info: my one tip that I always leave though is the Colombian chain Crepes and Waffles.

2. Chicas definitely love Generous and that's all that matters. I suggest sticking to market prices and giving generous tips only if the chica is extra generous in her service or affection. Many guys fail to understand the dynamics of prostitution and get caught up in the thinking that chicas will not like them because they are old and fat (I am old and fat so that's not a dis) . And some guys get on here claiming that they get better service etc because they are better looking etc (which I want to ask than why are you paying at all?) No the truth is it is a business, your plumber could give a damn if you are good looking, your accountant could give a damn, your grocer could give a damn, hooking is a job and if you are paying for service that's all that matters. Personality probably goes a longer way than looks as far as if they want to stick around longer or watch the clock. I am fat and old and could tell you stories if getting freebies from chicas I repeated several time over years, of how they want to stay at my apartment for days even after they got paid but I chalk this up to personality because I am no Tom Cruise.

3. Cartagena is an historical sight to see, the Old City where the clock tower is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the neighborhood across from the old city and to the East is Getsemani and Forbes magazine called it one of the ten coolest neighborhoods in the world. I read that the wall that surrounds the Old City would cost over a trillion dollars to build today; 3 times Colombia's current GDP. The most historic church is Iglesia de San Pedro Claver / Santuario de San Pedro Claver that also houses a small museum and was once sanctified by Pope John Paul II because of it's historical significance. San Pedro Claver went down in history as the first in the 'new world' clergy to minister to African American Slaves so you can investigate that if you are interested. Even in the United States there are organizations named for Pedro Claver. That is not the main church though, that would be Catedral de Santa Catalina de Alejandra AKA Cartagena Cathedral. IMHO none of these churches quite reaches that architectural grandeur of those seen in Europe or even the major cities in the USA but the churches in Cartagena are old and have that colonial look. Many Colombians travel from all over Colombia to be married in a church in Cartagena and the Santo Domingo Church on Plaza Santo Domingo (great place to sit and people watch) is popular for that, Cartagena Cathedral poses for a great photo at night when her dome is lit up. John Clayton mentioned already the Castillo de San Felipe and Palacio de la Inquiscion. There is also a gold museum that has displays of examples of the first gold artifacts that drew the attention of the conquistadors and a Naval museum that tells of the time 400 Cartagena colonials beat a force of 27,000 British who were partially led by George Washington's brother.

It depends on your own interests in to what parts and aspects of Cartagena would have an appeal to you. If it is architecture that you like than walk the streets of the Old City and walk the wall especial where it bounds the ocean. If it is also history that interest you than of course there are the museums mentioned. If you are into art than you cannot miss a walk through of maze of streets in Getsemani where the walls are covered with some of the best street art in the world. And do not forget to check out the Fernando Botero statue of a reclining plump lady in Plaza Domingo that always has a tourist standing next to it posing for a photo. If you are into literature than you should know that Cartagena was for years the home of the 1982 Nobel Prize in Literature winner Gabriel Garca Mrquez, one of his books was made into a movie with Javier Bardem called Love In The Time of Cholera and much it was filmed in Cartagena. If interested in Gabriel Garca Mrquez read the article in NYT below.

4. Most chicas in Cartagena and I mean the vast majority only speak and understand Spanish. At least for you since you have had some Spanish and understand the pronunciation of the vowels and such, when you use Google Translator you will not trip over the words.

I walked through Getsimini and the murals were incredible!

The old Havana club was closed. I'm not sure if it's permanently closed.

Castillo San Felipe and the San Diego area are on my list for the next trip. Plenty to see and do in Cartagena.

Pretty much can't go wrong with the food. I ate pescado con mariscos or Cazuela de Mariscos every day. Around 40 k pesos. Big portions. Can't wait to go back.

[QUOTE=MongerHunger;2518386]I know that parts of this post are a joke right.[/QUOTE]Which ones handsome man?

Ya, Mojo, rather than quote ya, I'll just note that food is an individual and constantly evolving topic that is elemental to mongering. No food, no nutrients for the development of a healthy choadload. That being said, in my 25 years in Asia, some of the best food tips come from the mongering side of life.

I never use trip advisor. They don't allow discussions of hookers at the street food areas.

I am not sure what part of Asia you refer to but I was in total heaven with the food scene in Thailand, since my trip there I just get disgusted at the want -to-be places that try make Thai food here in the USA, they just lack those fresh ingredients and that good Thai fish sauce with the peppers.

[QUOTE=BrotherP;2517709]Had an awesome time in Cartagena! The little private beach at the condo is nice! Stuck with the same two chicas all trip.

Met one at delirium, the other was a referral from Tony at the beach.

Even with a lot of chicas being home for the holidays there was a nice selection. Cartagena has plenty to see and do. Taxis are inexpensive. Laguito and Boca grande have plenty of places to eat and drink. So you can mix it up and not always go to centro. Only saw about half of the things I want to see. Can't wait to come back![/QUOTE]Brother P you have motivated me. Thanks for your on the ground reporting. Where did you stay.

Prices are lower overall because of the differences in our economies and the exchange rate. The delivery fees are lower not just because of the previous mentioned reasons that prices are but also the delivery person is either on a bicycle or a scooter that is way cheaper to operate and cover the depreciation on than a car is. It may be tempting to use Uber Eats because it seems familiar brand wise but I would recommend Rappi everyday of the week and twice on Sundays. In Medellin I used them to order dinner for me and a chica sometimes especially some of the chicas that I know were coming straight from their day job to a cita with me, I want to then fed so they are ready stay for a while and not be in a hurry to go eat. I used them for breakfast everyday and it was like $5 for a complete breakfast with eggs, potatoes, arepas, cheese, sausage, coffee and OJ. You can't tip the equivalent of $2 us and that is good. All the restaurants are on Rappi too so it is like bringing the whole city (within reasonable delivery distance) to your fingertips instead of you having to search places out. I will post a photo of their delivery people below, their app logo is just the white mustache part with the red background.

I was in Cart last January. Found a chica I liked to stay with me for 3 days. Needed to use Rappi, yes its very handy, but after downloading it Rappi did not offer an option to use a phone number from the USA to register and order with. I triple checked and no USA option available so we had to use the chica's phone to order and of course I had to put my credit card number into her phone in the app. We used it several times and it is great. She left the day I flew out. When I got home I cancelled the card right away. A few days later she texts me asking if I will let her use my card to buy some ice cream. I told her I had to cancel the card because of fraud. We are still in touch. But anyway, has any American used Rappi on their US number? If so when?

Got out about 9:00 PM. Did the clock tower, Delirium and LaDulce Vida. Jesus there are a lot of girls. I waited too long, turned down some real babes and drank too much on the first night. Picked up an 8 on the way home. Went to a love motel. Not bad. Will use it again. I can use my place with no problem but I decided not to. I paid way too much, 300 k but she could certainly work it. Will not repeat. Got great plans for tomorrow. Sightseeing, napping, beach, and hitting the same circuit. This place is great. Pussy heaven. Good night gentlemen. Thanks for the tips.

I just purchased a new phone recently did not have Rappi on it so after reading your post I downloaded the app and this is what went down. I am going to try to upload images to demonstrate. The first menu drops down and asks me to choose what country I am using the app in. This is a group of nine South American countries and I choose Colombia. The next screen says create your account and gives me the option to use my phone number or other sign up means. If I click on other sign up means it will offer to let me use my Facebook account or WhatsApp. If I click on Phone number it starts off showing a place to fill in the phone number and it already has the Colombia country code showing, but if I click on the spot where the country code is showing up than if opens up a menu with the other country codes of the world and the USA and Israel are at the top of the list.

It would not be wise to punch in your actual physical card in someone else's account.

In cases like these I would generate a disposable card (one time use or with a limit) in a site called [URL]privacy.com[/URL].

Gave me the peace of mind needed.

Thanks Mojo I just did that download and I can see US option in there now. I'm almost positive it wasn't there when I was in Cart a year ago. I only had a couple of cervezas in me at the time. Anyway no harm done and we got our Rappi delivered. It works great and is a must have if you are shacking up with a chica for a few days or more.
